Reasons To Switch To Vegan-Friendly Products

More and more vegan friendly products are being introduced to the market these days. This shift to ethically produced products has come about since people have realized that animal cruelty and environmental degradation are inextricably linked with most beauty products and toiletries. Vegan products make use of safe ingredients that are eco-friendly too.

Here are some reasons to consider switching to vegan-friendly products:

You avoid questionable ingredients

Undesirable animal ingredients are often used in the manufacturing of everyday products. These ingredients often have misleading names, making users feel that they are using vegan friendly and cruelty free products.

Gelatine, tallow, cochineal dye, guanine, lanolin, squalene, etc. are all examples of animal ingredients that are found in many products. Always read the labels when buying soaps, bubble bars, lotions, hair products, and even makeup.

Say no to animal cruelty

In several countries, cosmetics are still tested on animals. These animals are kept in deplorable conditions, tested, and prodded.

Outside of the EU and the UK, skincare, makeup, pharmaceutical products, and even dental care products are tested on animals. Although there is a high chance that vegan friendly cosmetics are cruelty-free and often the two words are used interchangeably, they are very different. 

Vegan products don’t contain animal derived ingredients, whereas cruelty free means the ingredients and the final product have not been tested on animals. 

Make sure to check which country your cosmetics were manufactured in to dissociate yourself from this unnecessary process and look out for vegan-friendly and cruelty-free on the packaging. 

Natural ingredients are better for the body

Vegan brands are often more aware and conscientious of the environmental impact us humans have on the planet. They focus on the quality of ingredients in their products, avoiding harmful and toxic ingredients.

They opt for natural ingredients that are beneficial to the body. Take commercially available toothpastes, for example, they are riddled with harmful ingredients such as triclosan. 

We’ve seen this ingredient banned in hand sanitisers but not from toothpastes, despite its link to cancer. Swap to a safer brand like the Naked Company. They have created toothpaste tablets with and without fluoride that are free from toxic ingredients and are ideal for oral care.

Vegan products contain more nutrients

Vegan products are often infused with essential oils and ingredients that are good for you. For example, natural, handmade soaps are made with safe ingredients and are infused with essential oils like tea tree, rosemary, and lavender.

Naked Company is an all-natural bathroom and oral care brand that manufactures products that are non-toxic, sustainable, cruelty free, vegan-friendly, and most of all, environmentally friendly. 

They produce handmade soaps like the Charcoal Tea Tree Soap with Rosemary and Potato & Lavender Soap which are available for €6. They are also the founders of Dental Crush Toothpaste Tablets and bamboo toothbrushes too. 

They have recently added bubble bars and reusable swabs to their natural and naked bathroom collection. Check out their website to order environmentally friendly products.

All You Need to Know About Toothpaste Tablets

  There’s a new product in town that seems to have taken over the dental care industry lately: a toothpaste tablet. Ever since they’ve been introduced, toothpaste tablets have transformed the global toothpaste industry . There has been a noticeable shift toward these tablets as people look for alternatives to the traditional toothpaste. What are toothpaste tablets and how do they work? Let’s take a look.   What Are Toothpaste Tablets? Toothpaste tablets are tablets made using a toothpaste formula. This formula is created without adding water to it, and the mixture is pressed into pill-like shapes.  The ingredient base for toothpaste tablets is quite similar to regular creamy or gel-based toothpaste. However, because the formula doesn’t include water, their texture is completely different than that of regular toothpaste. Toothpaste tablets are also created without the addition of preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate) that are typically added to traditional toot...

3 Reasons A Bamboo Toothbrush Is Better Than A Plastic One

    Recently, bamboo toothbrushes have become all the rage. Not only are they already big in the sustainable living community, but have even gone mainstream. And there's good reason for bamboo toothbrushes being used more widely today than ever before. 1. It is incredibly sustainable Bamboo grows fast and the bamboo toothbrush is biodegradable. Rather than the immense processing required for plastic toothbrushes, this sustainable alternative comes directly from the bamboo plant. Since plastic toothbrushes are derived from fossil fuels, their production is directly increasing climate change. 2. Plastic toothbrushes are virtually indestructible Made largely from polypropylene plastic and nylon bristles, plastic toothbrushes literally never degrade. This means that the very first plastic toothbrush ever made is likely still floating around somewhere on Earth, polluting it. Over a billion plastic toothbrushes are thrown away each year in the United States alon...
